Design and Implementation of an OPNET model for simulating GeoAODV MANET routing protocol

چکیده
Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) is a routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). AODV floods the network with control messages to discover a route to the destination, which often results in a large number of control packets traveling through the network. This paper introduces the design and implementation of GeoAODV routing protocol for OPNET Modeler. GeoAODV takes advantage of Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates to only search the area where a path to the destination is likely to be located. This paper discusses the authors’ endeavors to develop a model of GeoAODV protocol and seamlessly integrate it within OPNET Modeler. In addition the paper provides an overview of OPNET Modeler’s software architecture for modeling wireless networks and MANET routing protocols.

Geographical AODV (GeoAODV) Rotate is a variation of a regular GeoAODV scheme that aims to reduce the control message overhead introduced by ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol. GeoAODV reduces the route discovery overhead by searching only a portion of the network that is likely to contain the desired node. The search area is computed based on the nodes’ location coordinat...
